GOt one today. Really nice. I just made a video myself. I play a different style of music on my page but if you're interested in seeing it I can email it to you. Yours sounds really cool. I have a stand for mine. Really sweet organs.
You say this is not electric. I am curious - if the sound is generated by the bellows, what's driving the bellows? usually in harmonium, the person's hand is but I don't see the bellows operated by hand or foot here..PS: I am new to organs / harmoniums; haven't used them much

@eyesonthetube . i just bought this same kind today. its called an "electric chord organ". the electricity part is to keep the air pump or whatever going opposed to like a hand crank on a hurdy gurdy or something. the actual noise isnt from actual electricity though. your hearing a wind sound.

beautiful, i just bought a chord organ recentlyfor 10 dollars at a flea market, i've been trying to find lessons on youtube but it's nearly impossible
@treeboar77 play a drone with the left hand and block chord movement with the right. Move slowly, think of singing a slow song, this instrument has many sonorities and harmonies. Its a very pure reed because, it is not electronic, but wind generated sound, it has bellows, on that note, remember it sucks dirt from underneath, so I used a clean floor, or suggest a table rather than carpet to stand it on, because it will vacuum the floor into the bellows and dirt will lodge in the reeds.
@treeboar77 i just bought one for 10 dollars too at the Salvation Army. Don't know how to play it yet...was also trying to find lessons/find out what it even is.
@thedroogfulable I miked it with flat, added little in the way of effects but did the harmonics are natural, I use cubase to record. I am able to make you loops anytime.
@yumyumfruitstripe Good for you, I think they have a lot of atmosphere. You may need to clean out the dust from the air intake filter, as it sucks air in from the bottom, in case you did not know.
YEEOW!
Brings back horrible memories of being tortured
by my grandmother making me listen to it!
(It even sounds like her playing).
Seriously this poor dude needs a JOB!

I recently purchased a Magnus chord organ (The same that you have I believe) for $25. Best purchase that I've made in a while.

Wow gettin a great deep low end there. Is that because its mic'd up or is the organ naturally that bass-y?
